So, some things I learned from continuing to read this thread:
1. When a Wii game goes from $50 to $30 after a couple of months this is an obvious sign of a failure, or at the very least big trouble, and the publisher probably won't earn back their money on it.
When an HD game goes from $60 to $40 after a month or two, that's totally normal and everything is fine with the game. The publisher will still make tons of money off the game.
2. When a Wii game is compared to an HD game from the same developer, it is obvious that the WIi game's development costs were in the high end, way above average Wii game costs. The HD game's development costs were, on the other hand, probably in the low end, most likely way below average - actually, only the highest end HD games cost what people usually quote as the average HD game cost...
That's my take.
